Bill Hader Remembers Being Fired for Spoiling 'Titanic'
Bill HaderBill Hader, the acclaimed comedian and actor best known for his work on "Saturday Night Live" and "Barry", recently shared a memorable incident from his past during an appearance on Netflix's "Everybody's Live with John Mulaney". The story involves his youthful stint working at a movie theater and the unique circumstances that led to his firing.
Hader recounted how he was working at the cinema when a group of sorority girls bought out the theater to watch "Titanic", which hadn't been released yet. In the doorway, attempting to manage the crowd, Hader was subjected to taunts, as the group likened his appearance to that of Charles Manson.
In retaliation and perhaps a comedic twist of fate, as he tore their tickets, he nonchalantly exposed the film's dramatic conclusion: "Enjoy the movie. The boat sinks at the end. Leo dies". This revelation didn't sit well with the patrons, who were caught off-guard by the spoiler.
The fallout was swift. The theater manager, struggling to suppress his own amusement, felt compelled to let Hader go, though he did so with a smile and admitted difficulty making eye contact. This incident, though potentially career-ending for others, became an anecdote of humor and charm in Hader's series of employment mishaps.
Reflecting on the event, Hader joked about the comparison to Charles Manson and acknowledged the mix of humor and impropriety that led to his brief yet unforgettable tenure at the cinema. His story serves as both a cautionary tale and a testament to the unpredictability of youth, even for those destined for Hollywood stardom.
